Loving You For Being You

At the park.

"Mom, Dad." The 6yr old Jake squealed in excitement.

"Yes Jakey, my boy. No wonder you are so happy today. You are the only one that brings me so much peace and also my greatest weakness," Richard said while hiding his biggest fear in his heart. Jake didn't understand what his father said but he smiled.

Andrea, Jake's mother and the powerful woman after her husband Richard Hellsman-- the Underworld Lord, looked somewhat tensed and serious. "Yes, I got you Celia. I'll make sure they suffer ten times of they did to you. Find a place nad save yourself. I will get you out of there, I promise." Andrea was furious the next moment.

Seeing his wife so filled with anger, Richard called his bodyguard. " Luca, take young master to play." Luca, a very tall, strong built man in black suit rushed towards Richard, " Yes Master." He bowed and picked up Jake in his arms and went aside. "Young Master, the master wants me to take you to play." he said without a smile in a serious tone. Jake giggled holding Luca tight and burrying his head in Luca's chest said, "Luca, can you really play with me?" Luca was touched by the kid's sudden behaviour and he smiled but he was caught by naughty Jake who giggled even more. Luca finally gave in and tickled Jake making him laugh at the top of his voice.. Seeing this, the other guards also laughed. It was a given that everybody loved and doted on the young master as their own son.

"What's the matter, Honey?" Richard asked, placing a hand on Andrea's shoulder and pulling her into his arms.

"The Tomlinsons have crossed their limits and broken all rules this time. Seems like Old Joseph might need us to teach a few lesson to his son, Drew."

"Okay, I understand, but what's the matter? Explain to me---

" Master," said one of the guards rushing to him, " Bad news." "What is it, Jeffrey? You always bring me bad news, it's no new to me. Tell me, what's the news?" Jeffrey looked tensed with his creases on his forehead. He bent down and whispered in Richard's ear, "Sir, the Tomlinson's elder son Drew was caught smuggling Cocaine in one of our hotels-- The Blue Star."

Richard understood what was happening and what made his lady so furious.. After all, Andrea was the love of his life and the one he trusted with his life. "Honey, let's get you and Jake home. I will take care of this. I promise."

"Luca, take Andrea and Jake to the penthouse." Luca understood the meaning which meant there's danger. He immediately bowed " No worries, Master. I will take care of it." Luca was Richard's most trusted bodyguard and also his advisor. He placed a hand on Richard's back and said, "Richie, don't try to solve everything on your own, take Jeffrey, Saul, Danny and Connor with you. I will take care of Madam and young Master. Be back safe. The Hellsman Family needs you safe more than anything."

Lucas was more than a brother to him. He understood what he meant and looked at Andrea and Jake who were smiling and waving at him.. He waved them back and left, "Let's get going. We have hell to clear today." "Yes, Master." The guards said in unison. And the Rolls Royce which carried Andrea and Jake and the other 8 black Mercedez Benz cars parted their ways.

Two years later......

"Joshua, it's Jeff's birthday tomorow, how about we take him to his favourite park? He loves to play there." Phoebe said smiling to her husband.

Joshua Crawford was an ordinary mechanic and barely made any money to provide two meals to his family a day. Phoebe worked as an assistant in a small newspaper office which only payed her 10 pounds a months. Both were trying to make ends meet for thier only hope and love-- Jeff, their son.

"I got my paid tod

ay and they even gave out bonuses today. So it almost 12-13 pounds. That should be enough for us."

Joshua looked sad and cupped his wife's face in his hands and said "Darling, don't worry about the money. I will get my pay from my customer today. It will be enough to make Jeff's birthday bit special. About your money, you can put it in fix so our son doesnt need to worry about in future. Hmm?" He smiled at her.

Phoebe loved Joshua for his honesty and understanding. She would never get tired of him. Suddenly they heard some giggling sounds and found little Jeff hiding behind the couch. They tiptoed towards him and caught him and tickled him. Seeing him laugh made their hearts bleed with joy. They had nothing to give to him except lots of love. They lived for this.

---------

Jeff was dressed in a black jeans, white shirt and tiny shoes, his hair combed backwards and cute glasses. He would still steal many hearts with this looks even when he was young.

While on their way to the park, they stopped at the red light. Jeff was on the back seat at the window of their old Ambassador. While at the window, Jeff saw a Rolls Royce Phantom that stopped besides their car. Their car looked very tiny in front of it. Suddenly the glasses rolled down and saw a boy peeking out. Blue eyes, silky hairs fair skin, he looked like an angel. "Mommy, there's a cute boy over there." He said pointing towards the Rolls Royce.

Phoebe and Joshua were in disbelief when they heard him and said "Boys don't call other boys cute, baby." They looked at each other when Jeff questioned them "Why? Why can't I call him cute? I like him Mommy... I like him. Can i say him hello?" Phoebe and Joshua were shocked at his words. Before they could react, Jeff waved his tiny hand at the boy in front of him. The boy smiled at waved back.

"Hi my name is Jeff. What's your name?"

"Hi buddy, My name is ------

Before the boy could even say his name the red light changed to green and the cars went off their way.

"Jake." The boy in Rolls Royce said to himself and smiled.

Later that evening, while returning home, they picked up Celia-- Joshua's sister. Celia was suprised to see Jeff amd Jeff's joy knew no bounds when he saw his aunt enter the car. Celia was 28 and younger to Joshua. She wore a crop top and light blue colored denims paired with a sling bag and shoes. Jeff hugged her instantly and smiled. The smile dint leave his face for a while.. Celia doted on little Jeff so she hugged him back.

Suddenly Joshua saw a truck which stopped by on the right start and rushed with full speed. On his left was the same boy playing with a doll in his hand with a man in black suit who seemed like a bodyguard. Leo recognised him at once. He could see the smile on the boy's face and the smirk on the truck driver's face. He realised what was going on..

Jeff screamed on seeing the truck speeding crazily towards the boy. Leo and Phoebe was shocked at this behaviour. Something seemed off.. Celia asked Jeff "What's wrong baby?"

Jeff started crying, "Mama, Papa let's save him. He is so cute. Please save him.." He tugged at Joshua's shirt and started crying. Joshua and Phoebe looked at each, their heart broke to see their son breakdown.

Phoebe hugged Jeff and said "Papa Mama loves you for who you are and who you will be. Just learn to love yourself. Don't hate or blame yourself. You gotta live well and grow up to be good man.. Listen well to your aunt, she's your only family and you can call her 'Mom'. Stay strong and dont trouble your aunt." Seeing her sob, Jeff started crying more.

Celia was shattered to hear this. "Josh, what is she talking about? Phoebe what is it about? Why would Jeff call me Mom when he has you?"

Joshua picked Jeff and held him close to his heart "Jeff, my boy, I am sorry I have to do this." He kissed his hairs and cupped his face "You will realise some day that it's for your sake, Papa loves you my boy." Joshua turned to Celia and put Jeff in her hands and they all held hands. Joshua and Phoebe looked on last time at Jeff and Celia.. And forced Celia against her will to step out of the car with Jeff in her arms.

Joshua saw the truck nearing the crossroad and sped fast in its direction. Phoebe and Joshua held hands.. They looked at each other "I love you.. to death" they said and then....

BOOOOMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Luca was playing with Jake suddenly held him and rushed behind to prevent the fire that broke out of the car crash. The car was in pieces. Jake was terrified.

Just then Jake saw Jeff crying pointing and looking towards the car crash. He showed the Luca what was happening.. Luca seemed to analyse the situation and understood that it was meant for them but somebody sacrificed for saving them. Luca bowed to sobbing Celia and Jeff. Celia held Jeff close to her heart tightly and sobbed.

Luca explained what happened to Richard and Andrea who came running while crying their hearts out. They were greatly indebted to the stranger who saved their lives..

Who knew that Jake and Jeff were fated together..
